The sunny weather is incredibly hot these days in the mountains. Dehidration and sun overheating made me so sick I was stuck in my bed a whole day! But then I bought one of those hats Yankees use when they are outside I always made jokes of before, and "god bless the yankees!" I could at least make it the last day.

The season is at its end for this time.

I am grateful and peaceful.

Nature is shining in the sun of the spring and I decide to shift skis with my hiking boots and go walking my last days in the mountain for this time. My heart is filled with love and a sensation of belonging, even if I know I probably never can install myself and my family in this enchanted place, Monterosa.

I want to be alone here for this moment, to walk in the woods and in the perfect silence of the snowy valleys. I know I am not alone, I feel the presence of eyes, the eyes of the animals waking up after this heavy winter: mountain goats, marmots, birds.
